style95 opened a new issue #1202: [questions] Recommended way to delete huge number of documents. URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1202 What is the most desirable way to delete a huge number of documents? For example, let's say I want to delete 500K ~ 1000K documents. Since there are too many documents, I cannot query/delete them using one request.(request is timed out.) So what I am trying is, first query the number of documents, and send bulk deletion request multiple times with `limit` parameter. e.g) If counts are 500K, then calculate the required number of requests, first. ``` 500k / 2000(limit value) = 250 // So I need to send 250 requests to delete documents. ``` But with this approach, my `count` query also hung and timed out. (If `_count` reduce function has never been called) So what is the recommended way to delete huge number of documents?
